your numbers are off... depending when you pulled those numbers that is. As of this morning we had 13 homicides, not 12. tonight alone we have had three more homicides since about 8pm. one in 019, 008 and 025. So, now that number is up to 15 homicides for the year. besides the three killed tonight, there are 12 others shot... this is not even including anything before 7pm tonight! So since this evening 12 shot and 3 killed. there were I think three others shot during the day today. A january day with cold, rain and sleet and we see near 20 shot and 3 killed.. Hey mayor, city, ACLU and the department... How is this new ISR system working out? How about the Body cameras and microphones and in car cameras??? well, good luck chicago. We are done protecting you. We are done stopping people and we are done arresting people. The thugs are starting to realize this and it will be just as bad downtown this year when they flood the loop and mag mile. Sorry, I was a very hardworking, low disciplined and aggressive police officer for 14 years... that all changed around november 24th with the media bashing, protesting and degrading from the mayor, public media, feds, presidential canidates and BLM. I pray that normal citizens can remain safe... we will only be able to respond after the fact.

Wow! Look at the numbers from 2014 to 2016. But hey, fuck it, they want police to fill out some ridiculous report that even the command staff doesn't fully understand and give out receipts to all types of assholes.

Don't put yourselves unnecessarily at risk of harm or losing your job my brothers and sisters in blue. Do your job "properly" and sit back and enjoy the ride.

Exponential growth!!!! Way to go chicago! Homicide (yes, we can use that word again now that the carpet baggers are gone), taxes, and the welfare rolls are the only growth businesses in this dying metropolis. Oh, flight as well. As in taking flight from this cesspool.

Remain Fetal Boys & Girls! Don't be a hypocrite and brag about how great these #s are then go out & make an arrest or do an I.S.R. Stay Fetal and watch these bodies continue to drop! Sacrifice your court and give this City what it wants & deserves!#fetal

I believe the shooting numbers went way up on Jan 8th alone. Can't stop these guys on a hunch or based on our professional experience any more. It's state law and department order now. Thanks politicians! Signed.....The good guys

Thanks to the politicians pressured by the fake community leaders and the 1%(aka fools) just to get votes, the gang members are now honorary conceal carry holders. The new law and CPD order says we can't stop them until after the shooting. No more stops based on a hunch or experience. Better put on your rain costs the blood will be flying.

OT...we all need to listen to Sheriff Clark's interviews. What an incredible leader! Listen to what he said about the Philly cop shot by the Muslim terrorist. Clark is the best of the best! Oh and by the way hes black. Will Obama have the cop at the White House? Clark for president!

Nice... Let's see if those homicides reach 900 plus by the end of the year. By the way the stats for ISR cards (contact cards) are about 270 cards so far for the entire city...What a pickle to put your self into writing those. 10% of that total have been written by two hard chargers from tact in 016. I guess those guys haven't been updated on what's happening in the city, or the watchful doj. Way to go nh,dm... Making the department look good....until you end up investigated ...

I am retired so I can't access the clear system. How many total arrests were there for 2014, 2015? It would also be interesting to know the total monthly arrests. It wouldn't surprise me if it has declined significantly like it has in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, L.A. and now Chicago.

The media and the Mayor are too fault . They have dragged OUR CPD through their fake mud only to PROMOTE and grandstand. Our Pilsen neighborhood has been up for grabs the last year and is now run by the gangs. All of us saw the cutbacks in patrols.cruisers. We understand. CPD are in a COMBAT ZONE every minute of every shift. Our fay Mayor will grandstand without a care of human life. Doesn't everyone see this man has no conscience at all! I wrote Emanuel and told him he and his drunk philanderer McCarthy are directly responsible for children and familes on our block dealing with shootouts every other week now. I am talking EXTENDED play shootouts. Take it worldwide. I am posting stats and sending to press worldwide.STAY SAFE for YOUR familes.

I agree with the above post, stay fetal and you won't get in trouble. I "was" the working police for 20 some years. Now I do my job and no proactive policing. Its like having 100 lbs. lifted off my shoulders. Not only am I protecting myself and my family but by staying fetal we are proving our point of view. We don't even have to open our mouths. In this case non-actions speak louder than words. Stay fetal!!!!

Inquiring minds want to know: since McGoofy and Tracey are gone and they were the driving force behind Compstat and all of its lies and number fudging then why does each district still have several full duty officers doing Compstat type stuff?There's Compstat officers, District Intelligence Officers, Compstat print officers, District Intelligence binding, collating and print officers etc.I know this is hard work as sometimes their tours are an entire 4 hours long but come on these are full duty officers that could be much better utilized actually working the street.

This, of which you speak, is most often the result of vigorous competition between the various entrepreneurs competing to be the best and most successful at providing their chosen goods and services to those whose demand for same is quite sincere.

Any copper with 10+ years on the job knows that the Desk Sergeant always ran the Watch . Desk Sergeant is necessary , look at Field Lt. rank , years ago when city was down to 10 captains the Field Lt. was in charge of 65 out of 75 watches in the city and then the watches with a Captain the Lt. was in charge two days a week . Guess what , the Desk Sergeant still ran the watch . I think rahms cousin , nephew or uncle that was a desk sgt. told him about the scam of captains . why he is bringing it back , politics , it is now appointed , merit selection system . That gives the little man a feeling of power .

25th year on the job and never imagined how hated the police have become. All my brothers and sisters on the job are absolutely disgusted by the Mayor, media, and most politicians. This great city has turned to shit thanks to the ghetto rats who shoot and kill each other and yet not one politician has speaks up about this? GOD bless the Chicago Police and unfortunately I must agree with the consensus to remain fetal and watch each others back. Protect your brothers and sisters on the job and of course your loved ones. The rest of the citizens will suffer of course but unfortunately this is what you wished for.

"Will someone let the pendelton girls mother know that the gun didn't shoot and kill her daughter it was THE FUCKIN MUTT WHO POSSESSED THE HANDGUN. Listening to her is getting old."

The unspoken problem behind Hadiya's death

Bill Maxwell, Opinion Columnist

Saturday, February 16, 2013 3:30am

"I stopped celebrating Black History Month many years ago.

"What is there to celebrate? I am writing about this issue because of the misguided emphasis too many African-Americans are placing on the murder of Hadiya Pendleton...

"Black people, politicians in particular, avoid discussing the problems at the heart of Hadiya Pendleton's death, the heavy toll of black-on-black violence and the moral decay that keeps us trapped.

"I expect politicians to avoid the hard issues, but I worry when black residents play this cynical game. Damon Stewart, Hadiya Pendleton's godfather, did so when he spoke at the girl's funeral. "She is a representative not just of the people in Chicago," he said. "She is a representative of people across this nation who have lost their lives."

"Stewart did not mention the real problem that begs to be addressed: Hadiya is representative of the high number of blacks killed and brutalized by other blacks each year in the United States.

"According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, nearly 7,000 blacks are killed annually, 94 percent by other blacks. Along with being victims of black-on-black murders, African-Americans most often are the victims of violent personal crimes such as robbery and assault.

"Empathy and social capital are absent from too many of today's black communities nationwide. In places like Chicago's South Side — where violent teenage gangs have replaced the traditional family — empathy is seen as a weakness and social capital is seen as that warm-and-fuzzy stuff that whites and black traitors practice.

"Many African-Americans blame urban poverty for this crisis. But poverty does not explain away the lack of a moral compass, the source of the violence and general neglect that have turned our communities into dystopias..."

Why are you so concerned about what other officers are doing? If those officers still want to work then more power to them. Stop trying to scare people by saying if they do any type of work then they are going to get in trouble. Only dogs think that way. R u a dog?

I sure wouldn't want to be a commander of a district or unit today. Can you imagine trying to tell your people to go out and put their neck in a noose getting you some bullshi t contact cards? I'm just a retired guy who was the Police for 34 years and all I can say is I am glad I was the Police when I could be the Police. You won't recognise this city in five years the way it is going. To those good tax paying citizens out there I would strongly advise you to buy a gun and learn how to use it and memorize the phrase," I thought he was going to kill me".

You mean like the 3 or 4 number massagers that work out of the Admin office in 009?They're all full duty and NEVER work anything close to an 8 hour tour.

I've never seen a desk sergeant run a watch. You must be thinking of your old job in some suburb.

Why are you so concerned about what other officers are doing? If those officers still want to work then more power to them. Stop trying to scare people by saying if they do any type of work then they are going to get in trouble. Only dogs think that way. R u a dog?

Why aren't you concerned about what other officers are doing? If the ones who still want to work actually know how to do so without jamming themselves up, then more power to them. However, the majority of the hard-charging, numbers-seeking, "real police" go-getters out there, have no fucking clue how to do things the right way in order to avoid getting themselves jammed up. In the process of trying to impress someone with their DOPW, reckless conduct, street gang contact while on parole, and gambling arrests, they're forgetting that the rest of us who assist them, will end up getting fucked over along with them when they do shit the wrong way. You sound like you have less than two years on this job. If you have more than that, it doesn't mean I'm wrong, so don't try to impress us by following up with "actually I have 5 years on!" That won't help your case. You still SOUND like someone with less than 2 years. You just don't get it yet. You're unable to actually see what's going on, and how easily you could end up being the one on the news or in handcuffs for "doing your job" or being "the real police." You don't understand that you don't actually have to do anything wrong to end up fired, sued, arrested, humiliated, ostracized, and have your entire life turned upside down. Wake the fuck up! If someone actually knows how to do their job properly, legally, completely by the book, then maybe they won't end up getting fucked over. Those aren't the ones doing the majority of the "work" out there though. You, and others like you, are going to get other officers in trouble, because you can't see the writing on the wall. Someone else is going to have to answer for your fuck-ups and stupidity. Show some respect and concern for your fellow officers and their families. Don't do stupid shit that endangers their lives or careers. If someone runs from you, you can't just chase and tackle them and empty their pockets to find that bag of weed. You can't charge them with reckless conduct because they happened to cross a street while you were chasing them, and they didn't have that gun or weed on then once you caught up. If you want to be the real police, do real police work, where you actually know that someone has broken the law, and you can prove it, without scamming and searching for a charge that fits. Protect yourself and the rest of us by using your brain. In the meantime, the "dogs" will hopefully just sit back and watch you get yourself in trouble, rather than jump into the pile of shit you created right along with you. Do I even need to point out how completely fucktarded you would have to be to engage in a vehicle pursuit for any of this nonsense? Oblivious morons and dipshits racing across the city, just hoping their idiotic pursuit for failure to yield doesn't end up in a deadly crash. Good luck.

Those goofs have been inside for so long that putting them back out on the street would be dangerous to them and the other cops that actually know what they are doing.

...and I am feeling sick I want to go to the Emergency Room and I do not want to say anything more until I talk to an attorney.
